Why choose Bangalore, India for your cosmetic procedure?
India is a global hub for medical practice and innovation. Our medical training system is among the best in the world, which is why so many doctors worldwide are of Indian origin.
At the same time, along with excellence, India is known for its affordability. Innovations in the private sector have enabled state-of-the-art treatment at a fraction of the cost of other countries. Moreover, the cost of medications is also very low, and patients can carry their postop medications home.
India is also extremely convenient since most of the population speaks English and navigating within the country is easy. And Indian hospitality is legendary built on the principle of ‘athithi devo bhava’ meaning ‘a guest is next to god’.
And last but not least, India is known as ‘Incredible India’ for a reason! There is no dearth of the amazing sights and locations to see in this vast country. You can easily combine your procedure with a tour or vacation for an unforgettable visit. This can still be more economical than your procedure back home!
Bangalore is recognised as the Silicon Valley of India. A vibrant multicultural city, in 2019 it was listed in the top 20 cities for startups in the world, and the highest-ranked city in India for prosperity and inclusion. Bangalore is extremely easy to navigate with universal English signage and literacy, with a wide number of apps for every convenience. Also known as the garden city, it is renowned for its pleasing weather year-round. Bangalore International Airport has won several awards and is recognised as one of the best in the world, with direct connectivity with several international hubs.
Bangalore has a wide range of sights to be enjoyed, with delicious local cuisine. The princely city of Mysore is only 2 hours away and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Other attractive locations in Karnataka include Hampi, Mangalore, Coorg etc. For your stay, it has over 12,000 hotel beds of all categories, all at a reasonable cost.

How can I plan my procedure?
Your procedure will be discussed by video consultation from your hometown. Multiple consultations are arranged to satisfy your questions and doubts. Dr. Aniketh Venkataram will work to understand your needs and offer you the best plan, discussing all the pros and cons, with realistic advice on your procedure and recovery. We will advise investigations which can be done either at your home place or as soon as you land in India.
What procedures can be performed during my stay?
Multiple procedures can be combined as per your requirements. We perform many of our procedures such as hair transplant, and liposuction under purely local anaesthesia. Others such as rhinoplasty, and breast surgery are performed as day care procedures. Few procedures such as tummy tuck or facelift may require overnight admission. They are all predictable safe surgeries with minimum downtime and aftercare.
Several antiageing and dermatological procedures such as Botox, fillers, threads, lasers can all be performed easily as opd procedures during your recovery from surgery.
How can I plan my travel?
Once you decide to go ahead with your hotel beds of all categories, and procedures, we will help you schedule a procedure as well as travel dates. If you are planning on touring India at the same time, we will guide you on how best to schedule your procedure.
We will also offer assistance in planning your stay including location, transfers etc. Our travel partner can also help with your visa and airfare, and schedule your tour as required.
How will my recovery be?
We will assist you with overnight admission where required and follow-up visits as your procedure demands. We will ensure you are fit to travel before you return.
If you are travelling alone and are hesitant about staying alone in a hotel during recovery, we would help you with admission at a hospital for observation which would be around 80-100 dollars per night.
What if I get problems after going back home?
This is a common question asked but you have nothing to worry about. Only surgeries that are safe to be performed during your stay would be advised. Every possible course will be informed. We will advise you beforehand how many days you would need to recover in India before travelling back safely. We will be in touch with you throughout and our telephone numbers will be provided to you for seeking help. In addition, we have contacts with doctors throughout the world and in the rare instance of help being needed, we will assist you.
